do a search for "laptop modem" and you'll come up with a tutorial. I would post the URL but the forum will not let me post URL's until I post 10 messages.

I know you have a 7105 but this is how it works for a 7100, it could be the same. Thanks for VitaminB and jmounts for finding the pieces to this puzzle!

It turns out that the 7100 can be used on T-Mobile as a GPRS modem for
a
computer by using the USB cable. Here's how to configure it:

1. The 7100 must be connected to the computer by USB cable and the BB
desktop
manager must be turned on.

2. Verify the modem settings. In the Control Panel open the Phone &
Modem
Options. On the modems tab, you should see a new Standard Modem on a
new port
(mine is COM11). Click Properties: Diagnostics: Query Modem. You should
see
the following:ATQ0V1E0 - OK
AT+GMM - BlackBerry IPmodem
AT+FCLASS=? - OK
AT#CLS=? - OK
AT+GCI? - OK
AT+GCI=? - OK
ATI1 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI2 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI3 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI4 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI5 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI6 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI7 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
3. Click Properties: Advanced and add the following Extra
initialization
commands:AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","wap.voicestream.com","",0,0
4. Close the Phone and Modem Options and the Control Panel. Create a
new
connection with Start: Connect To: Show all connections: Create a new
connection.1. Connect to the Internet
2. Set up my connection manually
3. Connect using a dial-up modem
4. Check only the Standard Modem
5. Give the connection a name such as "T-Mobile GPRS via BB7100 USB"
6. The phone number is *99#
7. Connection for Anyone's use, or not.
8. Leave the username and passwords blank. Uncheck make this the
default
Internet connection.
9. Click Finish
5. Give it a try. It should dial and connect in just a couple of
seconds.
